According to Variety, Focus is the story of a veteran grifter who partners with a who’s new to the life of conning. It was written by the creators of Crazy Stupid Love, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, and will be directed by them as well.

Warner Bros. originally were looking to cast Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in the flick, but those plans fell through, allowing for Ben and Kristen to be considered.

Are you excited that Kristen is lining up such a high-profile movie, HollywoodLifers?

If the studio is smart, they put in a morals clause in Kristen’s contract to protect its interests. No doubt Summit shelled out a ton of money for damage control because of the Mini-Cooper Makeout. Make sure she’s pays for her lack of judgment with her wallet, a “fling fine” if you will.

Kristen’s PR team may have saved her from being blamed if BD2’s box office tanked, but she will forever be known for her cheating scandal. Despite gossip columns not writing about SWATH-gate as much now, Kristen is never going to live it down,

@acquarius64 – Her obvious reunion with Rob means to the public the Mini-cooper Makeout was either not that serious or was some kind of twisted PR event. People do not hang on to that which does not make any sense to them. Brad Pitt switched wives. People get that!

Yeeyyy, i hope so. I like the Affleck. A lot. I am sure Kristen will develop her acting skills by being on screen team with such a great actor. In fact i ever said here in HL that i hope Robsten could be like the family lifestyle of the Affleck. Go Kris !!
